Echo

love books. because it’s like what if something happened

“Buying books is immensely comforting. Maybe I won’t read them immediately, but they make me feel so much better whenever I’m sad and blue. Just their presence, it’s like having more to look forward to.”

Sometimes I just stare at my books from across the room and it makes me feel better

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

book dedications are so tender here is this piece of art i made for an audience of thousands. but really every word is for you

bilf (book i'd like to finish)

I’m a sucker for characters whose histories are so intertwined that they know each other too well and it often hurts too much. It gets me every damn ime

nothing feels holier than picking up a book after a long time of not reading. it’s seriously like meeting w an old friend. i want to lose myself in those pages

You can never read a book for the first time again, but you can pick it up a million times after and fully reread it, or just your favorite scenes, and find home and comfort in its pages. Maybe you'll notice new things and maybe you won't, but those characters will always be there for you if you need them. And that's kind of beautiful.

I read. Obsessively. Because, when I read, there is purpose to my loneliness.

the feminine urge to stay in bed and read all day

i come back from a book and its like how the hell are you people just going on like this. didnt you read the book with me. how is the real world so disconnected from the whole book world i just experienced
